Yes - Water's boiling point increases below sea level, and decreases as you go higher above sea level.
That's why you need to take it into account when cooking at higher elevations, as the lower air pressure alters cooking times, which are generally referenced for sea level.

What effect does salt have on hot water?
Salt raises the boiling point of water. The process is known as boiling point elevation. The higher the concentration of salt in the water, the higher the boiling point of water is raised.
How does the boiling point in degrees Celsius of a saltwater solution compare to the boiling point of normal tap water?
The boiling point of salt water will be higher - whichever scale is used to measure the temperature. How much higher will depend on the amount of salt that is dissolved in the water.
Why does ethylene glycol increase the boiling point of water?
Ethylene glycol has a higher boiling point and a lower vapour pressure than water.
Will it take longer to boil salt water than fresh water?
Yes. The boiling point of salt water is higher than the boiling point of pure water.
What has a higher boiling point than jet fuel?
water

Which substance would have a higher boiling point sodium chloride or water?
Sodium chloride has a higher boiling point.
A student measures the boiling point of rainwater and sea water.Which has the higher boiling point?
Sea water has higher boiling point,as it contains sodium chloride
The normal boiling point of chloroform which has a higher vapor pressure than water at 100 degrees celsius is?
higher then the normal boiling point of water
What factor besides the temperature affects the boiling point of water?
Air pressure also affects the boiling point of water. The higher the air pressure, the higher the boiling point.
How does the boiling point in degrees Celsius of a saltwater solution compare to the boiling point of normal tap water?
The boiling point of salt water will be higher - whichever scale is used to measure the temperature. How much higher will depend on the amount of salt that is dissolved in the water.
How does pressure affect boiling point?
The boiling point is that temperature when the SATURATEDvapor pressure of a liquidbecomes equal tothe surrounding pressure.Thus the higher the sorrounding pressure, the higher the boiling point.
What is the boiling point of treacle?
alot higher that water
The boiling point of water in Nevada?
It depends where you are in Nevada. The boiling point will be lower in areas at a higher elevation.
What has a higher boiling point alcohol or water?
Water has a higher boiling point that alcohol (ethanol). The main reason for this is because water has stronger intermolecular forces holding the molecules together.
Is the boiling point of water higher than the boiling point of water?
physiological answers tell us that In neurology water may be boiling at a lower substantial rate then non water water.
Will LiCl have a higher boiling point than water?
boiling point:1382 C Melting point: 605 C
